Otherwise, they would not have been isolated from the world, causing a stranger to enter the stronghold. Everyone was extremely curious.

The village chief brought Cheng Guanyue to a small bamboo house. Although it looked simple and crude, many things were already in his possession.

However, the little girl beside the chief was staring intently at Cheng Guanyue.

He couldn't help but rub his own black and rough skin, and said with envy: "You're so beautiful, just like … Just like a white and fat Gu worm. "

Upon hearing this, Cheng Guanyue could not help but reveal a kind smile.

This was the first time she had heard someone praise her in such a manner.

However, it was also related to the geographical environment of Southerner. They were always hot and humid here, and the minimum temperature would only be around 20 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, they were using their bodies to feed the parasites, of course, there would be accumulated filth inside their bodies, causing their skin to be dark and dull.

Especially since they liked to wear bright clothes, which made them seem even more earthy.

He then took out a bottle of snowflake pill s from under his clothes and gave it to her, "This is the holy medicine our Central Plains women use to improve our beauty. After you eat it, you will have skin as delicate as mine."

"Really?" The little girl was pleasantly surprised as she received the snowflake pill. Then, she opened the bottle stopper and placed it in front of her nose to smell it.

Immediately, a faint fragrance surrounded her.

Most importantly, the Gu worm in her body was very quiet, which meant that the snowflake pill was not poisonous and could be consumed with ease.

When the village chief saw Cheng Zhanyue act with such kindness towards her little granddaughter, his face softened and he asked: "Miss, is there something you need at our village?"

"That's right, chief, I have something that I wish to ask you about. However, other than your stronghold, is there no other stronghold?" Even though asking such a question wasn't appropriate.

However, Cheng Guanyue was so persistent, she was too lazy to beat around the bush.

Hearing that, the tribe leader shook his head: "No, there are big and small villages like our Southern Barbaric Country, we can't even count ourselves, but we are all under the command of the High Priest and the Holy Maiden, as long as they give us the order, we will all gather together."

She could tell that Cheng Guanyue was a straightforward person with pure eyes. He did not have any evil intentions or bad intentions.

Thus, whenever Cheng Guanyue asked, she would answer.

"Do you know where the High Priest is?" I have something to discuss with her? " Cheng Guanyue said sincerely.

"The High Priest and Holy Maiden live in the snake mountain not far away from here. I don't know why you are looking for the High Priest, but it is really too dangerous. " To the chief of the tribe, the snake mountain was a place that he would never step into unless he was able to.

Only with the approval of the High Priest and the Holy Maiden would ordinary people have a chance to enter.

Thus, she did not hesitate to tell this information to Cheng Guanyue.

"A hundred years ago, there should have been a Holy Maiden escaping from the Southern Barbaric Country. Her name was Xi Lan, and perhaps she is still alive and well, with children hiding in the Baiyingshan of the Central Plains."

"What did you say?" That traitor Xi Lan is still alive? " Hearing Cheng Guanyue's words, the chief immediately opened his eyes wide and spoke angrily.

"That's right, Xi Lan is still alive. She has even committed crimes with a group of predynastic remnant." Cheng Guanyue guessed correctly who Xi Lan was.

Perhaps the imperial family of the former dynasty had the intention of abducting the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain and controlling their subordinates so as to not betray them due to disloyalty.

"I didn't expect her to still be alive. If I knew it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have given her the Saintess spot." The chief's voice was filled with anger as he talked about what had happened that year.

Originally, she and Xi Lan had been good sisters since childhood. Their talent in raising Gu was very high, and their goal was to become the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain and help the High Priest protect the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

It was just that there was only one Holy Maiden spot in the village, and Xi Lan had often mentioned this to the village chief, how much she longed to become a Holy Maiden.

In this way, the village chief gave her the spot and she became one of the holy daughters of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain as she wished.

Who would have known that she would betray the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain and flee to the Central Plains.

Initially, the High Priest still wanted to chase after her, but because Xi Lan had voluntarily stripped away the Gu worms from his body and became an ordinary person who had no other choice, it was not good to chase after her.

If Xi Lan really gave birth to children and taught her own children to raise Gu, without returning back to the Southern Barbaric Country to receive punishment, she would definitely be punished once again by the High Priest and the other Holy Maiden.

They definitely would not allow Xi Lan to teach others how to raise a Gu, as that was the basis of their life and death in the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

If many people were to learn how to nurture Gu, then wouldn't that mean that their Southern Barbaric Nether Domain would be looked down upon by others and would lack the mysteriousness as well?

At that time, no one would dare trespass into the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. Wouldn't that mean that they would intentionally turn the conflict towards the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain?

"Then I shall set off now to look for the High Priest and the Holy Maiden. I wonder where the snake mountain is? I hope that the chief can give me some pointers. " Cheng Guanyue didn't think that Xi Lan would be so despised in the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. It seemed that her method of asking for help would definitely be effective.

However, the chief waved his hand towards Cheng Yeyue: "There is no need to be so courteous, I will personally bring you to the snake mountain, I believe that the High Priest will be willing to kill Xi Lan after knowing that she is still alive and has passed down the methods to nurture the Gu."

Seeing that the chief took the initiative to help her, she did not say anything and followed behind her obediently.

When the young granddaughter of the chief heard that they were going to the snake mountain, she immediately went back to her house obediently to raise the Gu.

To her, the snake mountain was an extremely terrifying place.

Other than the village chief, basically no one else dared to set foot there.

Thus, when Cheng Guanyue saw her reaction, she was immediately quite curious about snake mountain.

Just what kind of situation was this that made that lively and extroverted little girl so afraid?

It was only after the chief brought her to the foot of the snake mountain that she understood why that little girl hated this place so much.

So it turns out that the snake mountain was filled with poisonous snakes. There were also some poisonous frogs or other poisonous insects.

He felt that it was appropriate to call it the Insect Mountain.

However, when Cheng Guanyue stepped into the snake mountain, all the poisonous snakes and bugs retreated to two sides.

Just like when she'd just entered the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, those poisonous creatures circled around her and didn't dare disturb her at all.

Even the chief was somewhat surprised and did not know what to say?

Because even if they had Gu worms on them, they might not even be able to take a step into snake mountain.

This was the holy land of the High Priest and the Holy Maiden.

Perhaps he could spend the rest of his life with these poisonous creatures and assimilate them into his body.

Become the closest of them all.
